Residents needing access to their flats within the police cordon have to register their movements to and from their homes with a police officer keeping a log.

One man, who lives on Tannery Close but did not want to give his name, said: "I didn't know the lad but 19-year-old is no age at all. I feel for his family.

"We get pockets of trouble around here but no more than any other area and nothing like this."

The 42-year-old added: "It is quite worrying that such a big cordon is still in place. I didn't hear or see anything on the night. It was yesterday morning when I got up and saw the police tape, I knew it was something big."
